In order to make room for him on the roster, the team has waived offensive tackle Adam Bisnowaty.Bisnowaty, a sixth-round pick of the New York Giants in the 2017 NFL Draft, did not appear in any games for Minnesota. He was signed to the practice squad in late October of 2018, reuniting him with his college teammate, Brian O’Neill. He was then signed to a futures contract after the regular season came to an end. Since being drafted, he has appeared in just one NFL game, back in his rookie season with the Giants when he started the team’s season finale at right tackle.In Keely’s two seasons at UAB, he recorded 43 tackles Garrett Bradbury Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , five sacks, seven tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and one blocked kick.Again, with these moves, the Vikings’ roster is now at 90 players.

Over at The Draft Network, they had this to say:They went on to call the Vikings’ pick of Bradbury one of the five best in the first round.Starting to get repetitive, but understandably so.Bradbury is the best zone blocking lineman in this year's draft, and that’s what the Vikings are going to do.Walt over at Walter football gave the pick a B+ as well:The one thing I remain skeptical about in several comments is Elflein at guard.I’d like to see competition there too.And a quality draft pick tomorrow and/or Saturday.And if it’s between Reiff and Elflein at left guard, I don’t see Elflein winning that competition.Chad Reuter at nfl.com gave the Vikings an “A’ for Day One of the draft:Overall pretty universal praise for the Vikings first pick of the 2019 Draft.
